Sorry for the delay in writing but we've had a few busy days and then yesterday when it was calmer i could not get on the computer! Typical!! We've had a bit of a storm here a few days ago (you may have seen blogs and stuff) it was actually quite fun if exhausting to deal with.

It's so draining for a while as everything is ten times harder to do! It's still very hot, bunks are now soaking wet with sweat! MMMMMM!!!

Best laid plans and all!!
